Rule n° 155 - Mechanisms for closing windows are visually linked to their content.

In recent years, the advertising and marketing departments have shown tremendous inventiveness to ensure that you are in contact with their content for as long as possible. To do this, the closing buttons on advertising windows are sometimes far away and even brutally separated from the content or sometimes, the use of transparencies allows the closing cross to be displayed in an isolated area of the screen. You always end up finding them, but after how long?
